No. There is only 16 to 19 feet of water

dredging?

from google maps. Accurate?

OK. So I cant see either subs or CDC parking on the side where there are only two, but based on max length mentioned by the Admiral, there would be room for two nested together, perhaps three on the side with three MCDV's in the picture.

That could be more than sufficient depending on the actual draft of CDC. The German corvettes of the Braunschweig class draw only 11 feet 4 inches (that's two feet less than the old Gate Vessels and about the same as the MCDV's.

Just spitballing here but the CDC is being talked about as being ice strengthened and a possible PC6. Won’t that extra weight mean a greater draught than a ship of similar length?

The subs are going to require as much water under the keel as River class. More than 25 feet.

I see a few problems here. I doubt Y has the electric or plumbing services to accommodate larger vessels, you’re now picking a ship to fit the space, there is little space on the jetty to place materials, no crane….maybe it would make more sense to extend one or both fingers of C jetty
